Watch out Pittsburgh, there’s another group of Steelers hoping to take the football world by storm.

The Chambersburg Steelers, the town's youth football program, has accepted an invite for their seven/eight-year-old team to play in the inaugural “Game for Life” National Youth Football Championship’s regional playoffs, an official event sponsored by the National Football League.

Preisdent of the Chambersburg Youth Football League Jennifer Ortiz says that while the actual players are thrilled, the adults might be even more enthusiastic.

According to the official release from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the championship is the “biggest postseason national youth football championship in the country” and dubbing it the “Little League World Series of youth football.”

The release also states the purpose of the event is that “youth football deserves a true credible national championship with every bell and whistle to celebrate the best teams in football and provide them with a big time platform to compete.”

While they don’t know their opponent, the Steelers will head to Middletown, Delaware to play on a neutral field on Dec. 1.

“The boys know how proud we are of them, how hard they worked for this,” Ortiz said. “So really, it’s an honor for us.”

The Steelers knew that their team was under consideration for the opportunity dating back to last season, simply needing a strong showing to secure the invite.

“Last year they were kind of scouting us out and watching our record,” Ortiz said. “But I’d say in the beginning of our season this year it was really brought up more. I’d say in August and September, we kind of knew we were in the running for it.”

They officially received their invitation on Oct. 26, as a selection committee, headed by former Browns executive Ray Farmer, chose squads based on current team ability, traditional team metrics, team history and team explosiveness.

The Steelers, who finished the season 8-1, are one of 64 teams across the entire team to receive the invitation, and one of eight in their region.

So, in their region of eight teams, they’ll have an opportunity to earn a trip to Canton, Ohio to participate in the national championship.

The team will leave Chambersburg on Nov. 30 for the three-hour trip to Middletown, and play its first game the following day in Delaware, still awaiting their opponent. If they then win the following day, they potentially clinch a chance to advance to Canton to play at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

While obviously a great opportunity for the team to travel and visit new places, Ortiz emphasized that competition is still the focus.

“We’re going with the thought that we’re going to win,” Ortiz said. “But we know that these are the best teams that we’re going against. We’re practicing really hard, and hoping for the best.”
